Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 1148 – Soaring Cloud

Yang Junqi’s cultivation had originally reached the peak of Gangli Accumulation Realm long ago, but because of the fact that she was in the top six, she had never taken the risk to make a breakthrough. Now that she and Su Baozhang’s son Su Chang Le were born, she could finally cultivate in seclusion without any distractions, and her cultivation could naturally advance to the next level of Heavenly Dipper Realm.

But what Yang Junshan did not expect was that she would actually get such a good opportunity, get Daoist Sang Wuji’s favour, and personally take him in as her direct disciple.

Yang Junshan felt that this wasn’t so good and tried to persuade Sang Wuji otherwise, but it was Yang Junqi’s own fortuitous encounter after all, and it was also beneficial to the growth of the Madame Yang’s own resources. It wasn’t good for Yang Junshan to be the evil one, so he could only let Sang Wuji do as he pleased.

Even though he had always looked down on Yang Junhao, when he accepted Yang Junqi as his disciple, he had not forgotten to remind Yang Junshan to not tell her daughter about this matter.

However, how could such things be hidden? Even if Yang Junshan had not said it, regardless of whether or not Yang Junqi had succeeded in her cultivation, there would still be a day where she would have to reveal her abilities, and with Sang Shener’s experience, how could she not recognize those abilities? At that time, there would definitely be a gap between Yang Junqi and her family.

In fact, he himself also knew that with the continuous growth of the Madame Yang Clan, the division of the various factions would only happen sooner or later. It was impossible for the Yang family to forever maintain that kind of perfect power towards the heart, and even if Yang Junshan were to fall one day, or if the descendants of Yang Tiangang, who held the position of sect head, were to fail, or if there were any geniuses from other branches, at that time, they would definitely challenge the standing of the main bloodline.

Not long after Sang Wuji arrived at the Western Mountain, Yang Junshan received news of disciple Ding Rulan sending a report back overseas informing him of her safety, saying that she had been saved by a senior with a great divine ability during an exploration of her cave residence, and that she even had some fortuitous encounters within the ruins. Furthermore, what Yang Junshan had told her before they left the ocean had already been completed, and the location of the mine had already been determined by her.

However, because she didn’t want to miss the chance she had gotten during this exploration, she needed to continue training in a hidden place in the ocean foeriod of time and cultivate two divine abilities. It would take her approximately three to two years before she could return to Yuzhou.

Yang Junshan thought for a bit, then called Yang Junxin, Lan He Ming, and Su Changan over. After instructing for a while, he sent the three of them on a tour around the ocean, to meet up with Ding Rulan.

Sang Wuji had stayed in the Western Mountain for about a year, and during this period, aside from Yang Junshan and Yang Junqi, not a single person in the entire Madame Yang knew of his whereabouts.

When Sang Wuji found Yang Junshan once again, he saw that Yang Junshan was in the pavilion at the mountainside, deducing the Chess.

Although Sang Wuji did not excel in the art of formations, he was still quite involved in it. Furthermore, the person in front of him who was deducing the Chess was one of the few great formation masters in the world of cultivation.

Thus, he did not speak, and casually sat down in the pavilion, and started to concentrate on observing the process of Yang Junshan’s deducing the array formation on the board.

Yang Junshan shot a glance at him, and allowed him to watch. Only, Yang Junshan’s deduction had clearly reached a critical juncture. Sang Wuji had sat in the pavilion for a whole day, yet Yang Junshan had only played the game for twenty-three times.

However, these twenty-three sons already made Sang Wuji feel dizzy and nauseous. He tried his best to circulate the True Essence in his body and only after taking a few deep breaths did he seem better. Then, he immediately praised, “Amazing!”

Yang Junshan laughed: “Senior being able to last on the Go board for one day is already extremely rare, it can be seen that senior’s attainments in array formations are still quite impressive.”

Sang Wuji knew his own family, so he waved his hand and said: “You better not touch my face, great master is great master, this old man will experience it today.”

Yang Junshan smiled, but did not speak further.

However, Sang Wuji continued, “But I can see that your Chess’s evolution is related to the Dao of Stars?”

Yang Junshan was shocked, but he did not deny it and said: “Elder has good eyes! This junior might be going to the Foreign Lands today, but I do not know what the boundless starry sky is like.

“You want to go to the Foreign Lands?”

Sang Wuji looked at Yang Junshan in surprise, then nodded and said: “That’s true, it seems that only Grandmaster Yang has the ability to cause an exception for cultivators below the Huagai’s field to travel to the Foreign Lands.”

Sang Wuji’s voice paused for a moment, then continued: “Regarding the Extraterritorial Space, this old man does not know much. I only know that in order to go to the Extraterritorial Space, one must first go to the Lingxiao Hall, there, is the only path to the Extraterritorial Space from this world.”

“Passages?”

Yang Junshan’s expression changed, and said: “So that means that Great Divine Cultivator who can enter the Lingxiao Hall can go to the Extraterritorial Space at any time?”

“It’s not that simple!”

Sang Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: “If we really can travel to the Extraterritorial Space at any time, then why have so many Great Divine Cultivator s chosen the path of becoming golden bodies from ancient times until now, in an attempt to break the restrictions of this world?”

Yang Junshan said solemnly: “Senior, please advise me!”

Sang Wuji said: “Right above this passage to Extraterritorial Space, hang this world’s number one immortal artifact Haotian’s mirror!”

“Haotian’s mirror! “A celestial item!”

Yang Junshan’s expression changed. Of course, he had seen Haotian’s mirror before. Back then in the overseas storm gorge, the main character of Dragon Island, Chi Zhen Long, who had become a Demon Immortal, was exposed by one of the mirror light.

Sang Wuji continued to speak: “Anyone who goes to Extraterritorial Space must first be struck by this mirror when they leave this world through this spatial tunnel, and then, they will be able to stay outside of this region for three to five years, otherwise, it would be impossible for you to leave this world. But the moment you reach this time limit outside of this region, if you are unable to return in time, then this Celestial Mirror will be able to easily find your location outside of this region and kill you.”

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then asked: “Then Senior, may I ask, who created this passage to the outside world, and who is the Haotian’s mirror that hangs in the sky? Why would they stop us from freely entering and leaving this world? Why is it that this junior heard that the Immortal Palace was not called Immortal Palace but was called Heavenly Palace instead? Furthermore, the Heavenly Palace was originally located in the Buried Sky Ruins.

Sang Wuji spread out his hands and said, “What you’re talking about is something that happened a few thousand years ago. How would this old man know? Even if this old man heard some rumors, I would only half understand them. Telling you about them would only make me more confused, so why don’t you wait until you advance your Lightning Calamity and are able to freely enter and leave the Lingxiao Hall to search for the secrets of this world? ”

Yang Junshan knew that Sang Wuji definitely knew something, but since he was unwilling to say it, of course Yang Junshan wouldn’t force him. After hearing his words, Yang Junshan could only nod his head and agree with what he had said.

Sang Wuji seemed to be unwilling to keep this topic at bay, and changed the topic: “Did you know, this old man just received news a few days ago that Purple Wind Sect’s Xiao Xunqian has already passed through the tribulation. You have quite a grudge with Purple Wind Sect, so be careful of him finding trouble with you.”

Yang Junshan was startled, and said: “He came back to the Western Mountain?”

Sang Wuji laughed involuntarily, and said: “That’s right, there are very few people in the world of cultivation who would dare to come and cause trouble for us while you are in charge of the Western Mountain. Unless it’s an immortal.”

After Sang Wuji passed down the Daoist Tian Xian’s legacy to Yang Junqi, he did not stay any longer on the Western Mountain. From beginning to end, the entire Yang family knew that Sang Wuji had once visited only Yang Junshan and Yang Junqi.

It had been three years since Yang Junshan returned to the Western Mountain from the Yanzhou. In these three years, his energy had not only focused on cultivation, he had just broken through to the Huagai’s field and it was impossible for his cultivation to improve substantially in a short period of time. Instead, he spent most of his time on three things.

The first was to regularly instruct the clan members on their cultivation and the second was to cultivate the Heavenly and Earthly Abilities. However, in the two years that he had been in possession of the complete inheritance, his progress was not very fast, to the point where he was unable to even master the Initial Stage of the Immortal Soul Stage. Furthermore, he could only use the rest of his time to deduce the Path of Stars.

The Extraterritorial Space was vast and boundless, yet Yang Junshan didn’t know anything about it at all. All he could rely on was a few words that he had exchanged with Daoist Ziyuan, as well as a scroll of the alien star map that he had previously obtained in the pavilion.

Above the western mountains, with the gathering of the Spiritual Aura within the mountain range once again, an overwhelming surge of Qi suddenly rushed up to the sky. However, in reality, it was suppressed by the great formation even though it was only a few hundred feet away.

Outside the grand formation above the western mountain, Daoist Ziyuan and Yang Junshan floated in the air together, they lowered their heads and looked at the Qi flow below their feet that was rushing up from the western mountain.

“Why don’t you go down and take a look?” Daoist Ziyuan laughed.

Yang Junshan shook his head, and said: “I just broke through the realms of life, what’s there to look at? But right now, I’m rather impatient to go to Extraterritorial Space to experience it.”

“You won’t be able to enter Lingxiao Hall now!” Daoist Ziyuan said.

Yang Junshan looked at her and said: “That’s your problem, right? However, this junior is somewhat curious as to why only people with Lightning Calamity s and above can enter and leave the Lingxiao Hall. ”

“Because of the will of the world!”

“A cultivator can only refine and comprehend a part of the will of the heaven and earth when they undergribulation of thunder. Only under the guidance of the will of the world can a cultivator find the location of the Lingxiao Hall in the immortal palace, so bringing you to the Lingxiao Hall is not an easy task, at least not by myself.”
